Two of Niantic’s flagship projects will begin working in tandem today, as the company announced its social app Campfire will now be available for use within Pokemon Go.
Campfire allows players of Niantic games to team up to complete tasks, mark specific areas of interest, and more. Within Pokemon Go, players will be able to find local and remote raids and designate areas where a rare Pokemon has appeared for other players to find.
Campfire is also adding a new feature, Team Up, to coincide with the Pokemon Go integration. Team Up lets players host or join raids that other players are hosting within the Campfire menu, as opposed to relying solely on raid invites.
